that’s entirely possible. it’s also possible that because it was organised by the Guthrie children’s trust fund, and produced by Harold Leventhal, who was a trustee for the fund as well as Seeger himself, it probably wasn’t an issue to get him on the programme
Phil saying he was very disappointed by not being invited to perform at the Woody memorial but he went anyways just because he HAD TO see Bobby and know what he looks like because they hadn't met since the limo fight... :((((
Philip baby he doesn't deserve you

The Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues, originally known as the Congresswomen’s Caucus, was founded in 1977 as a bipartisan membership organization committed to championing women’s issues. The Caucus was originally co-chaired by Rep. Margaret M. Heckler (R-MA, 1967-1982) and Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman (D-NY, 1973-1980).
On July 10, 1979, the Caucus wrote a formal letter recommending the nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg for a position on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Ginsburg was not nominated for the seat referenced in the letter, but was shortly thereafter nominated by President Carter to a seat previously held by Judge Harold Leventhal. Ginsburg was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by the Senate on June 18, 1980. She went on to be nominated as Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States by President Clinton in 1993.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87 from pancreatic cancer on Friday, 9/18/2020. "Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." RGB Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 15, 1933, in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, the second daughter of Celia (née Amster) and Nathan Bader, who lived in the Flatbush neighborhood. At the start of her legal career, Ginsburg encountered difficulty in finding employment. In 1960, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter rejected Ginsburg for a clerkship position due to her gender. She was rejected despite a strong recommendation from Albert Martin Sacks, who was a professor and later dean of Harvard Law School. Columbia Law Professor Gerald Gunther also pushed for Judge Edmund L. Palmieri of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to hire Ginsburg as a law clerk, threatening to never recommend another Columbia student to Palmieri if he did not give Ginsburg the opportunity and guaranteeing to provide the judge with a replacement clerk should Ginsburg not succeed. Later that year, Ginsburg began her clerkship for Judge Palmieri, and she held the position for two years. Ginsburg was nominated by President Jimmy Carter on April 14, 1980, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated by Judge Harold Leventhal after his death. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 18, 1980, and received her commission later that day. Her service terminated on August 9, 1993, due to her elevation to the United States Supreme Court. President Bill Clinton nominated her as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court on June 14, 1993, to fill the seat vacated by retiring Justice Byron White. Ginsburg was recommended to Clinton by then-U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, after a suggestion by Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch. Ginsburg died from complications of pancreatic cancer on September 18, 2020, at age 87. [Wikipedia] Upon learning of her death, President Trump said, “She was an amazing woman who led an amazing life." @realdonaldtrump #riprgb #rgbrip #ruthbaderginsburg (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTd5IfjpqC/?igshid=tcpwqk8wg0ag

Bound for Glory (Hal Ashby, 1976)
Muy pronto, como si presintiera que iba a ser presa de la enfermedad hereditaria que le mantuvo durante trece años como un muerto en vida, Woody Guthrie escribió lo que suele considerarse su autobiografía, Bound for Glory (1943). Tenía tan sólo 31 años, por lo que el libro es, más bien, algo así como sus memorias de infancia y primera juventud. Narra, con una maestría comparable a la de los más grandes novelistas americanos de este siglo, la trágica historia de su familia —marcada por el fuego—, sus viajes y vagabundeos de un extremo a otro de los Estados Unidos, primero durante la fiebre del petróleo y luego durante la Gran Depresión, su tardía vocación de cantante y autor —recreador— de canciones que, cuando no eran tradicionales, han llegado a serlo en su voz, perpetuándose siempre vivas en las de sus discípulos y admiradores —Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Phil Ochs, Arlo Guthrie y muchos otros—, hasta tal punto que hoy casi nadie sabe que Woody compuso This Land is Your Land, Pastures of Plenty, The Sinking of the Reuben James, There's a Better World A-Comin', So Long (Its Been Good to Know Yuh), Pretty Boy Floyd, Hard Travelin', Vigilante Man, This Train is Bound for Glory, Curly Headed Baby, The Grand Coulee Dam, Oklahoma Hills, I Ain't Got No Home, y tantas otras de las más típicas o humorísticas canciones folklóricas americanas.
Las reminiscencias de Guthrie constituyen un grueso volumen de más de 300 páginas; de ellas, Robert Getchell ha suprimido las primeras 190, concentrando su adaptación en el periodo de actividad que comienza en 1936, cuando Woody abandona Pampa (Texas), completamente solo, y emprende el camino hacia la nueva tierra prometida: California. De nuevo encontramos la marcha hacia el Oeste de los pioneros, sólo que ahora el viaje no se realiza en carretas o a caballo, sino en viejos Ford «T» o como polizones en los trenes de carga. Es lógico, pues, que Woody encontrase en su camino a los modelos de Tom Joad, el protagonista de la novela de John Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath, y que la película de Ashby recuerde, sin deberle nada, la admirable versión cinematográfica que hizo John Ford en 1940.
Esto dará ya una idea de lo mucho que aprecio Bound for Glory (1976), sorpresa mayúscula de un director del que, conociendo únicamente El último deber (The Last Detail, 1973), nada esperaba. Pero resulta que Esta tierra es mi tierra —como, no del todo desafortunadamente, se ha rebautizado aquí— es un film modesto, hecho con dedicación y respeto, con simpatía y pasión, con seriedad y entusiasmo; se nota que sus autores disfrutaron haciéndolo, que sentían admiración por Guthrie, tanto por su vida como por su obra, y que para ellos el éxito comercial era secundario: les interesaba más ser fieles a la figura de Woody Guthrie —no en vano uno de los productores, Harold Leventhal, había sido su agente—, hacer una película digna y veraz, que reflejase la época que a Woody le tocó vivir, que relanzar a Guthrie, volverlo a poner de moda y lograr que sus viejas grabaciones discográficas se vendiesen más. Naturalmente, la autenticidad cuesta dinero —10 millones de dólares— , y la honestidad no rinde hoy día: la película de Ashby ha sido en todas partes un estrepitoso fracaso comercial, y hasta en Estados Unidos pasó con más pena que gloria, pese a una aceptable acogida crítica y a un lanzamiento publicitario teóricamente eficiente, aunque nada sensacionalista. Y es que Bound for Glory es una película que sabe a antigua, un producto artesanal —fruto de la conjunción de varios hombres de talento y buena voluntad— de los que ya no se hacen en Hollywood y casi nadie aprecia en ningún sitio. Una película que pretende respetar a sus personajes y al público es actualmente una película condenada al fracaso, salvo que se produzca un malentendido.
Contra eso, de nada sirve que Bound for Glory sea un film prodigioso, sencillo y sobriamente dirigido; maravillosamente interpretado por cuantos actores intervienen en él, desde el que encarna a Guthrie (David Carradine, a la altura de su padre, John) hasta el más insignificante de los secundarios; con una fotografía espléndida —de Haskell Wexler, el de America, America— que restituye el polvo, la sequía, el calor, la consistencia de los objetos, como pocas veces lo ha logrado el cine, y una ambientación —paisaje, coches, trenes, casas, vestuario— que no le va a la zaga. De nada sirve tampoco que la película tenga un tono espontáneo, coloquial, resuelto, infatigable, animoso y libre, como el de las canciones de Woody, como el de su libro de recuerdos. Ni siquiera el que Guthrie aportase su voz y sus palabras a la causa del sindicalismo parece ya tener el suficiente atractivo para el público; hubiera sido preciso presentar a Woody como un activista revolucionario, cosa que evidentemente no fue, aún a costa de olvidar sus canciones, y aun así no estoy muy seguro, cuando pienso que un film tan grotesco y falso como el Sacco e Vanzetti de Montaldo tuvo mejor acogida de crítica y público que dos películas que encuentro admirables y bastante próximas a Bound for Glory: Joe Hill (1971) de Bo Widerberg y Reed: México insurgente (1972) de Paul Leduc. Se diría que la complejidad y la auténtica épica repelen hoy a cuantos necesitan que les atruenen los oídos y les deslumbren la vista a base de «crescendos» y grúas reiterativas, de banderas rojas bien visibles y ondeando al viento, como en la mecánica y muy decepcionante Novecento (1976) de Bernardo Bertolucci, por no mentar las ridículas exhibiciones rotatorias de los coros y danzas del equivalente húngaro de la Sección Femenina o Educación y Descanso que evolucionan concéntricamente bajo un simbólico helicóptero colorado en la infame Szerelmem Elektra (1974) de Jancsó.
A los admiradores de —por ejemplo— Pío Baroja, Robert Louis Stevenson, Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Jack London, John Ford, Howard Hawks, el John Huston de Fat City, el Elia Kazan de Wild River, Pete Seeger, Tom Pazton, Bob Dylan y Killers Three de Bruce Kessler debería, creo yo, gustarles Bound for Glory, cuya visión, por otra parte, no exime de la lectura del libro (imprescindible); a los partidarios de Novecento en particular y Jancsó en general, Francesco Rosi, Liliana Cavani, Ken Russell o esa moneda falsa llamada, para rematar la impostura, Los restos del naufragio, no se me ocurre otra cosa que decirles, como Woody Guthrie a unos pesimistas con los que se cruza en el film de Ashby: You folks sure are depressing.

Art F City: This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Winter is Coming
The Whitney Biennial Installation view. Photo: Paddy Johnson
The week is of course dominated by two news items: The Whitney Biennial and The Wintery Downfall.
After the blizzard, Wednesday is a great opportunity to get yourself in the snowy mood, art-wise. Enjoy doses of culture from freezing, windswept regions, including Marsden Hartley’s Maine at The Met Breuer (if you’re missing the Whitney’s old digs) and Berlin-based Danish/Norwegian duo Elmgreen & Dragset in conversation with Dan Cameron at The Flag Art Foundation. Later, catch the Icelandic thriller Hevn at Scandinavia House’s New Nordic Cinema screening series.
Other highlights include Fort Gansevoort’s female-perspective sports show March Madness Thursday night and TRANSFER’s four year birthday party, which will feature affordable editions from some of our favorite digital artists.
Oh yeah, and make time to check out the Biennial. I’m told it’s good, but “traumatic”. An appropriately bleak show to match our physical and political climate?

Mon
SVA Theater
333 West 23rd Street New York, NY 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website
Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant Reading and Book Signing
Art writers Laura Larson and Mark Alice Durant will be reading from their respective books Hidden Mother and 27 Contexts: An Anecdotal History in Photography. Both deal with photography as a form of personal and cultural memory.
I know Mark Durant (who runs the fantastic art blog Saint Lucy) personally, and listening to him talk about art is such a pleasure. This is definitely the one thing worth braving the weather to attend.
Wed
The Met Breuer
945 Madison Ave New York, NY 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Website
Marsden Hartley's Maine
This exhibition traces the influence of Marsden Hartley’s native state of Maine on the artist’s practice. This should be good—Hartley is one of America’s most beloved painters—but also unique. No exhibition has ever focused on his hometown roots. Maine both offered the artist a space to experiment and a source of inspiration—from finding his voice as a landscape painter to being the source of personally-informed portraiture.
FLAG Art Foundation
545 West 25th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Website
Elmgreen & Dragset in Conversation with Dan Cameron
Elmgreen & Dragset remain two of my personal favorite contemporary artists because they always inspire good conversation. By that I mean their art world antics are both polarising and thought-provoking. Many a time, I’ve wished to be a fly on the wall of their studio.
Thankfully, the Berlin-based Scandinavian duo is headed to New York to talk shop with Istandbul Biennial curator Dan Cameron. They’ll discuss their work there, as well as a recent exhibition at the FLAG Art Foundation.
Definitely a can’t-miss.
Note: this event had previously been scheduled for Tuesday, but has been rescheduled thanks to the impending Winter snowstorm.
Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America
58 Park Avenue New York, NY 7:00 p.m.Website
New Nordic Cinema: Revenge /Hevn
Icelandic director Kjersti Steinsbø’s psychological revenge thriller Hevn sounds so good. The protagonist sets out to ruin the life of a man who wronged her sister. Along the way, she sews chaos in a small town.
How does Scandinavia, a region with basically no crime, always produce the best thrillers? Even the trailer gives me chills.
Thu
Berry Campbell Gallery
530 W 24th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website
Perle Fine: Prescience Series (1950s)
Perle Fine’s five-decade-long career was characterized by an impressive commitment to abstraction, which evolved following the arc of art history. Here, curators Martha Campbell and Christine Berry are focusing on Fine’s 1950s “Prescience Series” from the height of Ab-Ex. This is the era of some of her strongest paintings, in which Fine’s understanding of color is the most salient detail—where paint feels at its most liberated from her usual geometric or line-based compositional frameworks. Midcentury art history nerds take note.
Fort Gansevoort
5 Ninth Avenue New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website
March Madness
Curators Hank Willis Thomas and Adam Shopkorn have cooked up one of the most singular exhibition concepts of the month: competition and athleticism from the perspective of all-star female artists.
What exactly will a show look like that features Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl alongside Miranda July? Madness indeed!
Artists: Gina Adams, Emma Amos, Kathryn Andrews, Kristin Baker, Sadie Barnette, Holly Bass, Zoe Buckman, Jordan Casteel, Elizbeth Catlett, Pamela Council, Renee Cox, Rineke Dijkstra, Rosalyn Drexler, Sylvie Fleury, Rin Johnson, Miranda July, Catherine Opie, Howardena Pindell, Cheryl Pope, Leni Riefenstahl, Faith Ringgold, Deborah Roberts, Martha Rosler, Alison Saar, Betye Saar, Collier Schorr, Laurel Shear, Cindy Sherman, Jean Shin, and Ashley Teamer.
Fri
Whitney Museum of American Art
99 Gansevoort Street New York, NY 10:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Website
2017 Whitney Biennial
The 78th Whitney Biennial is here. It’s the most important survey of American artists (see: people who live in New York or L.A., or Americans who live in a handful of European cities) and is pretty much mandatory viewing for the art world. This is the Biennial’s first edition in the Whitney’s new downtown digs, so I can’t wait to see what they’ve done with the place.
Paddy already checked out the press preview, an experience she says “can only be described as traumatic.” For example, the first piece she encountered was a VR experience of beating a man to death, courtesy of Jordan Wolfson. Given the current state of the country, it seems like an appropriate mirror of the times.
Artists: Zarouhie Abdalian, Basma Alsharif, Jo Baer, Eric Baudelaire, Robert Beavers, Larry Bell, Matt Browning, Susan Cianciolo, Mary Helena Clark, John Divola, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Rafa Esparza, Kevin Jerome Everson, GCC, Oto Gillen, Samara Golden, Casey Gollan, Victoria Sobel, Irena Haiduk, Lyle Ashton Harris, Tommy Hartung, Porpentine Charity Heartscape, Sky Hopinka, Shara Hughes, Aaron Flint Jamison, KAYA, Jon Kessler, James N. Kienitz Wilkins, Ajay Kurian, Deana Lawson, An-My Lê, Leigh Ledare, Dani Leventhal, Tala Madani, Park McArthur, Harold Mendez, Carrie Moyer, Ulrike Müller, Julien Nguyen, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Raúl de Nieves, Aliza Nisenbaum, Occupy Museums, Pope.L, Postcommodity, Puppies Puppies, Asad Raza, Jessi Reaves, John Riepenhoff, Chemi Rosado-Seijo, Cameron Rowland, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, Dana Schutz, Cauleen Smith, Frances Stark, Maya Stovall, Henry Taylor, Torey Thornton, Leslie Thornton, James Richards, Kaari Upson, Kamasi Washington, Leilah Weinraub, Jordan Wolfson, Anicka Yi

TRANSFER
1030 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Website
TRANSFER turns 4 // ARTIST TALK + GIFT SHOP
TRANSFER Gallery is one of our favorite spots in the city to see digital art IRL. It’s a niche that’s not known for its ease of salability, which makes the fact that TRANSFER has survived these four years (longer than many galleries who offer more market-friendly wares) even more impressive.
They’re celebrating with an accessible shop chock full of artist-made wares. This includes works ranging from $5-$1000, and multiples from some of our favorite artists such as Lorna Mills and Anthony Antonellis.
At 6 p.m., artists Alma Alloro and Claudia Hart will discuss their project to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus by applying the school’s philosophy to digital art making. Sounds promising!
106 Green
104 Green Street Brooklyn, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Website
Lydia McCarthy: Ego Death
At least once a week, we come across an art opening that sounds so weird we have to recommend it out of pure curiosity. Here’s one such project. Lydia McCarthy’s new body of work references “Game Reality”, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, psychedelia and other New-Age-y topics. We’re not sure what the work will actually look like (they’re described as color film photographs that function as “talismans”) but the image above is certainly intriguing.
Here’s a kōan to ponder based on the exhibition statement: what’s the definition of “self care” if you’ve transcended “beyond self”?
THE JAVA PROJECT
252 Java Street Brooklyn, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Website
Gina Dawson: Bad Tattoos
I don’t think I have ever personally related to an exhibition statement quite as much as this one:
“Bad tattoos should not be a mark of shame but a badge that a person was impulsive, had questionable judgment or, in place of a better word, was young. Sadly, the contemporary art world is overpopulated with work made by artists who were never young enough to have had a bad tattoo, resulting in a glut of safe, bland art that neither offends nor thrills.”
Gina Dawson’s sculptures mash-up nearly-readymade, easily identifiable materials into often absurd compositions. They’re a bit like inside jokes made manifest. As opposed to the cool irony associated with this genre (The Jogging, et al) Dawson’s work can feel endearingly awkward—much like a bad tattoo—an impulsive idea carried through to fruition.
Curated by Carl Gunhouse

Brooklyn Brush
203 Harrison Pl. Brooklyn, NY 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Website
Art Packing and Preparation for Artists Workshop
Are you an artist? Have you ever dropped off work for a show wrapped in newspaper in a plastic shopping bag? If you’ve answered yes to the above, this is the class for you.
Artist/art handler James Isherwood and dealer Jonathan Belli are offering tips about preparing/packing artwork for shipping. Please go to this. Every curator you work with will thank you.
